Note

Africa suffers the worst climate change impacts in the world despite contributing the least to the problem. Beyond mitigation and adaptation, the Loss and Damage Fund announced in 2022 at COP27 could help. At COP28, the Transitional Committee tasked with operationalising the Loss and Damage Fund must ensure the fund compensates for losses and damages incurred by African people displaced by climate change impacts.
